Asked if Capers would return next season after Green Bay's defense finished 22nd in the NFL, McCarthy said it was "totally premature to make those decisions. But I feel confident he will be here," according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

McCarthy stressed no "knee-jerk decisions" would be made, saying that every coach and corner of the roster would be examined closely. McCarthy said he "owed" that to Capers and "no decisions will be made today."
